A range of British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) television departments, programmes, and radio stations are currently offering highly desirable, paid internships, but white people are prohibited from applying.

Creative Access – an organisation, registered as a charity, which offers placements at “many of the UK’s top media organisations” – has listed a number of BBC placements on its website, demanding applicants are only from “Black, Asian and non-white minority ethnic backgrounds”.

The website’s list of opportunities shows that all but four of the positions currently available are for jobs at the publicly-funded BBC, and Creative Access is funded by the British tax payer despite its charity status.

Creative Access’ implication that non-white minorities have a better understanding of the riots – which generated looting, arson, the mass deployment of police, and resulted in the deaths of five people – would normally be described as inherently “racist”.

I'm sure they will try to justify this blatant racist discrimination against whites as being all in the name of equality... but this is just blatant racist discrimination against whites!!!

Secondly... the 'charity' is just another tax payer funded rip off!!!

Poor Tommy, it's gotta be really a stressful world {this the 21st century} while trying to cling so desperately to those 1900 century values and racial ideologies; but you'll just give your self an ulcer if you don't give it up and SNAP INTO THE EQUALITY 4 EVERYONE~~~

Just take a deep breath and consider it a 'counter balance' for all of those racists humanoids that will shun/fire/bully/abuse those same minorities just because of the way that they look and the color of their skin ~~~

BTW - were you turned down because you didn't meet the standard IQ test; is that why you've got such a burr up the waaaa-zoooo about minorities?

There's no such thing as a law in the UK to counter-balance past or present discrimination. If there's a very good reason why someone needs to be a certain race to be suitable for a job, an exception can be made, but I can't see any suitable reasons in the article.

Making fun of racial discrimination is a bit pathetic, and this isn't about Tommy, so FFS pack in the abuse.

Stop being so disgusting - someone needs to have a word with you. There was a bit of racism in there too - implying that only white people can have low IQs.

You can if it's really vital that an employee is a certain race. I don't think that applies here though, so it's racist and possibly illegal.

Well perhaps it is for a specific reasons? Im sure they'll either make something up or there is a genuine one.

They're advertising a range of internships on their website, and I doubt very much that they need people who are not white. Perhaps there's a different law for internships. They'd never get away with it otherwise.

About UsCreative Access was founded in 2012 to provide opportunities for paid internships in the creative industries for young people of graduate (or equivalent standard) from under-represented black, Asian and other non-white minority ethnic backgrounds (BAME). We aim to improve their chances of securing full-time jobs and, in the longer term, increase diversity and address the imbalance in the sector.

In the longer term, the changes we are trying to bring about will create their own sustainability. Our target is for 80% of our interns to secure jobs in the sector and in turn to bring others from under-represented communities in alongside them.

Creative Access is a strategic initiative which complies with its obligations under the Equality Act 2010. Creative Access is legally able to offer internships only to UK nationals with a “visible ethnic minority” because it can show that it is offering training opportunities (and not jobs) and that it is targeting a group of the population which is proven to be under-represented in the sector.

Creative Access is supported by the UK Commission for Employment & Skills, Creative Skillset and the Department for Business, Innovation & Skills.

Which rather proves the point of 'WHY' the BBC is doing what they felt was necessary given the events and within their own staff >

Giving evidence to the British Parliament’s Culture, Media and Sports committee, Creative Access said the 2011 riots were the “tipping point” for the organisation’s creation, as “watching hours of white middle class commentators failing to explain the confusion and chaos on our streets offered little insight to the viewer; and embarrassment to the media industry.”

Creative Access’ implication that non-white minorities have a better understanding of the riots – which generated looting, arson, the mass deployment of police, and resulted in the deaths of five people – would normally be described as inherently “racist”.They said the creative industries should reflect the fact that 40 per cent of London’s population is non-white. But the BBC does not just serve London, nor does the wider media industry. The wider country’s non-white population is more like 15 per cent.The organisation states its target is for 80 per cent of their placements to secure long-term jobs in the media, “and in turn to bring others from under-represented communities in alongside them.”The latter goal looks to be advocating for the scheme’s successful graduates, once in secure roles, to practice affirmative action – which is illegal in the UK.Aside from Northern Ireland – where the Peace Process requires the police force to hire 50 per cent of its staff from the country’s Catholic community and 50 per cent from its Protestant community, and an exemption for political party shortlists – any discrimination, quotas or favouritism due to sex, race and ethnicity among other “protected characteristics” is illegal under the 2010 Equality Act.Creative Access states that it is a “strategic initiative which complies with its obligations under the Equality Act 2010.”A quote from one of the scheme’s graduates reveals the fact that there are no similar opportunities to which white people can apply. In a video appearing on Creative Access’ website Shoaib Rokadiya says, “Had I not got this internship I think I’d be trying to slug it out within a very competitive and sort of undernourished and underpaid journalism industry.”

And why the 'cherry picking' from Tommy's own article {limited selection that he posted} should always make the informed reader want to READ the entire article...just in case he's pushing his own Racists agenda

It appears that within the conclaves of 'Jolly Ole' England' lays a wealth of humanity that just can't grasp the feelings of many minorities and it's highly evident when just the few of us discuss such improper words used in the public school setting {against school policy} as that vile 'N' word --- some of you BRITS are just clueless

Don't give me that shit. Your country is absolutely riddled with racism on all sides - white people, black people - so many racists amongst the whole lot of you. The comments I've seen from black Americans against white people are more disgusting than any comments I've see about black people.

Next time you're whinging about hurricanes, go and bark at the sky. What are forums for if not to discuss issues?

Why do all the "foreignors! on here consistently put down the British? ARE they jealous of us or what? None of them have any history as such. I don't put down any country except when ignorent posters put down mine, and then i stand up to be counted. I'v had enough of their snide remarks, look to your own way of living before you diss mine.

They weren't race riots at all, they were just mobs of people taking advantage and going on the rampage. I doubt most of them cared at all about Mark Duggan. The press reported what happened pretty well - yobs setting fire to buildings, cars, and robbing shops.

Then after a couple of days/nights of it... a few white scallys in Manchester thought they would have a go up there too...

So when blacks do it, they're just blacks. When whites do it, they're "white scallys." Nice.

Tommy is wrong. I watched the riots. There were a mix of black, white, and Asian males as well as females. The only ethnicity I didn't see was a Chinese person, but that doesn't mean there wasn't one there.

According to his own link the BBC reported that 5 people DIED during those riots and they did call the riots, 'RACIAL' motivated and the media people trying to report them were doing a HORRIBLE JOB; hence the reason for this entire lengthy long drawn out helter-skelter discussion and Tommy didn't even read his own DAMMMM article!

or maybe he did but the comprehension just got all constipated in his mind and he just gave up!

How is it bullshit?The history of non white people in uk is totally different to that of the USA!!!In the USA there is a long history of black people being there... and of historically being treated badly by your govt policies... We have imported almost all of our non white people over the last 60 years!!!"...In 1950 there were probably fewer than 20,000 non-white residents in Britain..."

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_BritishWe now have about 3% blacks in uk... about 2 million... with almost all of them being in England... and about 50% Of them in London... 1 million out of 8 million London population!!!We also have over 3 million Muslims... again almost all live in England... and just over a million of them live in London too!All have been allowed to immigrate into the country under successive govts constantly telling us that they are highly skilled/hard working/well needed etc!!!

SMH... if only you were able to read

Is this worth reading - is it True?

On the matter of credibility: On first reading, readers of these pages generally feel amazement, the concept of Blacks being the original settlers, and builders of the first civilizations everywhere, including Europe, is particularly unsettling to them. Both Black and White, because they were taught that there were no Blacks in Europe until the Romans brought them. Then some Blacks correctly say: Uh huh, I knew the Whites were lying, and then go on to enjoy their edification. But Whites remain incredulous, they say: this is simply Blacks with no accomplishments, trying to steal White accomplishment and history! They say, if this was true, my Teachers and Professors would have taught it to me. So either this is lies, or the information is so new that my Teachers and Professors don't know about it yet!Well No, though it may be comforting to believe that your Teachers and Professors are of sufficient character that they would not lie to you, the facts do not support that conclusion. The fact is that European scientists had evidence, and knew from earlier that the 19th century, of the Black mans central role in settling and establishing civilization in Europe and everywhere else. The exhibits below attest to the fact that this knowledge was known over a hundred years ago. So either your Teachers and Professors are indeed liars, or they were very poorly educated.

PREHISTORIC MAN AND HIS STORY.

By Professor G. F. SCOTT ELLIOT, M.A., B.Sc., F.L.S., F.R.G.S.With Seventy Illustrations and Diagrams. Demy 8vo. 7/6 net.THE NEGROID OF GRIMALDIThe Aurignacians found the Moustierian or Neander-thaler in France, and during all the changes sketched above, the former seem to have held their own in that country. After the Wurm Ice Age the Aurignacians modified their weapons and mode of life, and, after the theory which we have adopted, became the men of La Madeleine.These Aurignacians and their Magdalenian descendants pervaded all Central and Southern Europe. Their remains have also been discovered in Valetta (Malta), in Phoenicia (Nahr Antelias), and elsewhere, as we shall try to show later. But during this long period of time two other races also succeeded in entering France and Italy. These were a “ negroid,” perhaps pygmy, folk and the men of Solutrean.

Creative Access’ implication that non-white minorities have a better understanding of the riots – which generated looting, arson, the mass deployment of police, and resulted in the deaths of five people – would normally be described as inherently “racist”.

That is racial discrimination, pure and simple.

I recently saw a job advertised for Asian's only. I can't remember the wording, but it said only Asian people may apply or something like that. It's wrong on so many levels. Just as it's wrong to say whites only.
